Distribution Industry Partnership Scotland (DIPS)
DIPS works with its members to protect their products and cargoes by developing crime prevention measures, exchanging information on relevant security and regulatory issues, sharing best practice and circulating intelligence.
Goods in transit - from
manufacturer to customer or retail outlets - can present a tempting
target for criminals.
So, to combat crimes in the supply
chain, alcohol producers, hi-tech product manufacturers, hauliers
and freight forwarders in Scotland joined forces as the
Distribution Industry Partnership Scotland (DIPS).
Based at the Scottish Business
Crime Centre (SBCC), DIPS works with its members to protect their
products and cargoes by developing crime prevention measures,
exchanging information on relevant security and regulatory issues,
sharing best practice and circulating intelligence.
Members can get advice, guidance
and practical assistance on all aspects of business crime
prevention and receive regular crime alerts. DIPS members also work
in partnership with the Scottish Government and the police to
identify and target criminal activity affecting their
businesses.
Access to SBCC's Best Practice
Database, the open sharing of best practice and general discussion
on the suitability and cost effectiveness of new crime reduction
methods have proven to be of real benefit to DIPS members.
To join DIPS, contact George
Mitchell, Partnership Manager on 01786 447441 or email george.mitchell@sbcc.org.uk
